need help identifying drum, and signutares Last viewed: 4 days ago

Posts: 1 Threads: 1

Hello, I inherited this drum some years ago from , a dear family friend. Of course I was a teenager and only listened to half of what he was telling me. I finally dug the drum out of basement and are now eager to learn more about it and get it appraised. As you can hopefully see, it has been signed by Woody Herman and Gene Krupa. I need help with the other signatures as well as the manufacture it has no plate, only a stamp on the head that says Sawicks. Thank you in advance for your help!

PS I hope I attached these correctly.

your drum is an early WFL Tom. here is a scan of a 1939 WFL catalog with your lugs shown. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/ludwig_snaredrums/1939-ludwig-snare-drums-1.jpg
